AeroBed Raised Signature Comfort Bed

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

I used this for the first time when I was a guest at someone’s home. It was very comfortable and is high off the floor so it is easier to get on and off of.
I then bought one to use for company in my home. It has its own storage bag and is self-inflating/self-deflating! It doesn’t get much easier than this. I would highly recommend it.

Wii Play with Wii Remote

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Wii Play is so much more than a senseless series of games. It can be viewed as a training program which acquaints the player with the simple movement found in other games. It gets the player accustomed to skill using the wiimote by going through a series of short timed exercises (games). The hunting program which has you going through a variety of shooting scenarios, which gets the player used to using the controller to aim and shoot accurately, from simple balloons to frantic aliens trying to aduct your mii. This skill will make a person a better player in such games as Zela, Red Steele, Rayman Raving Rabbids, etc., which require carefully aiming and shooting.

Canon PowerShot SX120IS 10MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Images Stabilized Zoom and 3-inch LCD

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

I am the owner of numerous Canon cameras. I am a professional videographer and music photographer.

I can’t always lug around my Canon DSLR, but I always have to have a camera with me.

This camera was purchased in hopes of bridging the gap between the high power of my DLSR and the portability and ease of use of my aging point and shoot…since that same point and shoot took an average of 1.25 seconds to “click over”….or so my stopwatch said.

Samsung LN55C650 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV (Black)

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Ok – I walked into a Fry’s in LA on Thurs AM and was going to look at 55″ and larger LCD TV’s – I’d made the mistake a month earlier not buying the LG 55LH40 when they had a price on it of $1279, and noticed a sign in the store that said Network ready blu-ray DVD player for FREE with the purchase of select Samsung TV’s. I looked at the LN55C650, and the LG right next to each other – then at Sony and the pic of this TV was better than the already sharp and crisp LH40 and LH90 [which was network ready as well].

Club Penguin Elite Penguin Force: Herbert s Revenge

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Bought Club Penguin Elite Penguin Force: Herbert s Revenge for my 7yr old nephew and he loves it that you can win clothing and other items for the internet game by playing this DS game.I don’t play these type of games but I’d say it’s a pretty cool game for the solid price of this particular item which is still pretty new.

Magellan Maestro 4700 4.7-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

I bought this to use in our other vehicles as I already have a guidance system in my pickup. I researched these things very hard before I bought my Magellan and I’m VERY happy with the 4700. In fact, I like it much better than Magellan Maestro 4700 GPS Navigator that came in my 2008 Silverado. I have used them at the same time, just to compare and the Magellan wins hands down. Voice is loud and clear. The only con I have found is that the voice does get muffled when it gives a long, detailed instuctions. Actually, it’s kind of funny at times. I do like the lane instructions and the overhead signs. The display is crisp and clear and I really like how the map changes as I change directions vs. Magellan Maestro 4700 GPS Navigator in my pickup that makes me feel like I’m driving backwards at times. Addresses are easy to enter or find. POIs are very easy to find. Love it and highly recommend it.

Transcend 8 GB microSDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS8GUSDHC6E

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

I guess Transcend has fixed their adapter problem, because what I ordered in late Dec 2008 works just fine–both card AND adapter. Hey, this is a fast class 6 card. I stuck it in my Samsung cellphone and it worked. Also recognized immediately by my computer when used with the adapter. By contrast, the Kingston 4 mb card that I ordered never worked in my phone–and it’s the slower class 4 card. Maybe I just got a bad one with Kingston. Whatever–the Transcend works for me and the price is right.

Pre-Owned iBook G4 1.33 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, 40 GB internal drive

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

I’ve had a 12″ iBook G4 since 2005 and it’s still my favorite notebook for browsing the internet, writing letters, and even reading pdf’s. It’s very lightweight and I consider the screen the perfect size. It’s held up very well. One of the keys has a hairline crack and one of the rubber feet on the bottom fell off but I clean it every month or so and it still looks almost new.

My only criticism is that it gets a little warm so I keep it on top of a clipboard when holding it in my lap. No viruses, no crashes, no worries.

When netbooks started becoming popular a couple of years ago, I had to laugh because I already have a lightweight, handy netbook. In fact, I’m using it right now to write this review. Given a choice between a new Asus or Dell netbook or a used iBook G4 for the same price, I would take the G4 without thinking about it for a second.

Great DSLR for amature

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

I got my K-x early December and shot like a million pictures already. Image quality is superb and make sure you get yourself some quality filters, the IR remote control and a good quality tripod to make it even better. It does take a bit of time to figure out all the settings and controls since there are so many of them available (I am still finding things here and there that I had no idea Pentax K-x Digital SLR Camera could do) but the interface and menu is VERY easy and very user friendly. Overall quality of Pentax K-x Digital SLR Camera is excellent and that is what Pentax is known for. As for the 18-55mm lens it came with, great lens for everyday shooting. You might want to consider getting one of the other lens packages as I kinda regret not having another telephoto lens on hand. I will buy one later, but if you have a camera like this you would want to get another lens anyways, so why not save some money now with the great bundles Pentax has available.
